Sire –
Sire Argentinus, who jumped at 1.50m level himself, has produced more than 70 grand prix horses
including Arko III, Thunder van de Zuuthoeve, A Lee Spring Power, Airport, and Adlantus, and more than 75 licensed sons. Arko was one among Nick Skelton’s greatest campaigners, competing at the Olympics and siring several grand prix horses in his own right.
Argentinus’ offspring are also highly placed in dressage, such as the European Championship gold medallist Albano, the two-time German Champion Amaretto, and August der Starke OLD.
Damline –
His state premium dam April Love ZH was placed in young horses competitions and also produced the licensed stallions Pilaro (by Pilot), placed at advanced level, Allstar (by Argentinus)/Oliver Ross, victorious at advanced level, and the mare Contessina (by Contender), who herself produced the licensed stallion Quel Homme. His grand-dam is none other than the internationally highly successful Rinnetou Z, who jumped at 1.60m level and also produced the licensed stallion Chardonnay Z (by Caretano). Her half-sister Zalza (by Zeus) and half-brother Cornelis Z (by Cor de la Bryère) were both internationally successful, and her half-brother Rival Z (by Ramiro) was a licensed stallion. The line goes back to the wonder mare Fairness Z, with whom Hartwig Steenken made his international breakthrough. Amaretto I-IV, Acolito, Oak Grove’s AH, Dirty Sanchez, For Fairness, Lalique del Chirone, Don Darco de Bornival Z, Apricot, and Absalom Z, also come from this line.
